Byung-Hoon An has climbed to 72nd in the world rankings.

On October 12 (local time), he earned 1.80 points in the men's weekly world golf rankings, moving up seven spots from 79th place last week. He secured ranking points by tying for 4th place at the Baker Run Classic of the PGA Tour (total prize money of 8 million dollars), held the previous day at Yokohama Country Club (par 71, 7,315 yards) in Yokohama, Japan. This is his best personal result of the year, surpassing his tied 6th finish at the RBC Canadian Open in June.

This marks Byung-Hoon An's third top-10 finish of the season, raising his FedEx Cup ranking from 78th last week to 71st. If he finishes within the top 70 in the FedEx Cup rankings after the fall series, which continues through next month, he will earn eligibility to compete in two signature events at the start of the 2026 season.

Scottie Scheffler (USA) and Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland) maintained their positions at first and second, respectively. Baker Run Classic champion Xander Schauffele (USA) moved up one spot from fourth to third place. Among Korean players, Im Sungjae is ranked 35th, Kim Siwoo is 63rd, Kim Joo-hyung is 85th, and Kim Sunghyun is 157th.
